Dominic Solanke Injuries

'Dominic picked up a knock [at Leicester]. He got through the game, but he flared up the day after, and he'll miss tomorrow. It's an ankle injury; he copped it really early on, and someone went across his ankle. It just depends on his recovery [when he returns]. Obviously, we've got the international break. But it's not serious.' 'Dom was close, but we're probably going to be a bit cautious with him. We've got a big programme post-international break, so he'll miss out on Sunday.' 'Dom has improved as well and trained the back half of this week. We still have two days to go with those guys, so hopefully, they get through training OK and are available.'

'It was a stomp from Zabarnyi. It is not a big injury; it is nothing big. But it was the big toe, a stamp. He came [Sunday], we checked him, and in the end, it didn't make any sense to take risks. He will be fine. He will play against Girona.' 'Thankfully, it's what we expected. He's a top pro and a good guy; he's settled into the dressing room really well. Football-wise, you can see he has all the attributes we need. He still needs time to fit in. He's fitting in well with the group and training. We've still got a couple of training sessions to go, but he's doing well. He should be [available].'

'Dom is in a similar position to this past week. He hasn’t trained fully with the team; we are trying to put him in the best positions to play tomorrow.'

'He had some issues in the knee. It doesn't look very big. We did an MRI [on Tuesday], so we have to see what he has. We hoped that he could be on the bench. But we assessed him at the last moment, and he [didn't] feel well.' 'The MRI with Dom went quite well, but he has not trained with us. We have one more training session before Sunday. It's a situation that isn't new. Since Spurs away, it's something that bothers him. He's been managing it quite well, but this week, he's felt more pain.'

'You could see he finished against Spurs with some issues. Small issues, I think, just a knock. But him and Adam Smith were not 100 per cent for the game, so we just decided not to risk them.'

'Unfortunately, he couldn't finish the game. Probably the worst part of the evening. We'll see how he presents (Thursday) if the ankle is swollen or not. But we have a very tight schedule, not even three days. It's going to be tough.' 'We are training this afternoon, and especially with Dom; he couldn't train yesterday. He will try, for sure, but we really don't know yet.'

'Also, we decided not to put Dom on, even if he was on the bench. Because if you feel anything that is not 100 per cent, it was not the moment to take risks.'

'Unfortunate. There was no one really around him. It was a strange incident in training. He felt some pain in his knee. We don't know exactly what it is, but we're hopeful it's not going to be too long.' 'In terms of Dom, he jarred his knee with no-one around him, and it was a bit of an awkward fall. I don't expect him to be out for long, but he won't make this weekend.' 'Dominic (Solanke) and Marcus (Tavernier) have both had good weeks on the grass, and I'll have a couple of late calls tomorrow.' 'Dom (Solanke) has trained well all week; Tavernier has trained well. Ryan (Fredericks) and Junior (Stanislas) have had a good week. So, there are a few back in and around it.'

'Dom had some pain in his ankle, having rolled it. I don’t know the seriousness of it. I think leaving on a boot is normal. That doesn’t mean it’s serious or not.' 'Dominic is a lot better than expected, there’s good news, and he’s recovered well. As a result of that, we’re hopeful of him playing at the weekend, but we’ll have to wait and see.'

"Dom picked up a bit of an ankle injury a few days ago and didn't train yesterday; he's not available." 'Dominic is a maybe for this weekend. We'll have to assess him tomorrow and make a call.' 'I’m hoping that maybe Dom will be back training next week, so hopefully, he’ll have a chance for Liverpool.' 'Dom will train for the first time tomorrow, and, hopefully, he could be an option for the weekend if he comes through.'

"He had a scan on Monday and that came back all clear, so he should be okay for the weekend’s game."

"Dominic is closer than Junior so we would hope to have him back sooner rather than later."

"He is progressing well. Our initial estimations were that we would see him back fit at some point in February, and we're hoping that'll be the case."
